Method and system for comparing functional consistency of multiple set top boxes

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for comparing the functional consistency of a multiple set top boxes. According to the method, multiple set top boxes are tested at the same time by adopting a remote control way; a testing process is performed via a B/S (Browser/Server) framework; the IP (Internet Protocols) of each piece of set top box gateway equipment is obtained before testing to distinguish different set top boxes; in the testing process, the response information of each set top box is acquired respectively; the response information includes alarm information, work log information and audios and videos recorded automatically in case of a failure; and in the testing process, manual test and automatic test can be performed respectively. The invention further discloses a system for comparing the functional consistency of multiple set top boxes. In the system, the B/S framework is adopted. The system comprises a set top box management platform serving as a testing service operation end, wherein the management platform is connected with a plurality of set top box testing management front ends provided with system background processing software through a network; the management front ends are connected with multiple pieces of set top box gateway equipment through the network; and each piece of set top box gateway equipment is connected with a set top box.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for comparing the function consistency of multiple set-top boxes, relates to the operation and maintenance technology or method of the cable interactive TV system, and belongs to the technical field of cable digital TV monitoring or auxiliary operation and maintenance. The invention also relates to a system for comparing the function consistency of multiple set-top boxes. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of cable digital TV, set-top boxes have become more powerful and more diverse. Cable digital TV operators need to be able to perform comparative tests on the functional consistency of various set-top boxes and record faults for traceability. The current set-top box testing is mainly aimed at the function and performance of the set-top box itself. Generally, the set-top box itself is limited to manual one-to-one testing, which can monitor the implementation of the basic functions...

Problems solved by technology

The current set-top box testing is mainly aimed at the function and performance of the set-top box itself. Generally, the set-top box itself is limited to manual one-to-one testing, which can monitor the implementation of the basic functions of the set-top box, troubleshooting or maintenance. The problem is that the test efficiency is low, the test cannot be automated, the test repeatability is poor, and the test data cannot be effectively managed.

[0003] During the operation of the set-top box, the set-top box can output the work log through the serial port or the network port. This log is generally used by the R&D personnel of the set-top box to locate and analyze problems. The log is often meaningless to the operator or the operation and maintenance personnel because it is too professional. Therefore, This log output is also often turned off when the set-top box is officially put into production
